Labour is not the same thing as human beings for one. 

For two yes it is if you truly own yourself and your effects, no socialist collective could take your stuff without claiming some degree of ownership over you.

lol please again for the however many times I've asked please present one source of right wing anarchism ideology? because I provide endless source of left wing anarchistic thought.

How do you refute that every historical anarchist revolution was leftist based? 

Do you have any idea what autonomous democracy is?

your simple understandings are laughable, it's very obvious that you may have read a lot but that doesn't quite mean you understood it.




One source of right wing anarchism;

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefan_Molyneux


Anarchism cannot be left wing by its very definition
  Why do you keep ignoring this? Why do you refuse to think for yourself and continue to quote  so-called "authorities" (the irony) instead of adressing my arguments? 

Yeah I know what an autonomous democracy" is - a form of government.  Democracy is a form of government.  In democracy, the majority have authority over the minority, and how do you enforce democracy? With authorities.

You are not thinking at all. THINK about it.



Stefan Molyneux is a fucking cult leader who tells people to cut ties with their families if they refuse to convert to Libertarian ideals, because they want to kill you.

Are you a Stefan Molyneux guy? Please say yes. That will clear some things up here.

Private property, for the sake of economic discussion, does not refer to your personal items or your house. It refers to businesses/means of production (factory/machinery/raw materialsmaterials, etc). Means of production does not mean human labor in an economics discussion. A man's labor is referred to as 'labor' in economic discussion.

Look these things up. If you've been 'studying' economics for so long, I am shocked that you have not come to understand these definitions. You must be focusing your "studies" on Stefan Molyneux videos and the like lol!

I certainly have an interest in Capitalism. Just because you have no interest in understanding socialism, doesn't mean I have no interest in Capitalism.  Capitalism is built on the idea that if you own the means of production (Capital), you should be able to Capitalise on it. Capitalism compounds wealth and concentrates it. Ever heard the phrase 'it takes money to make money'? That's Capitalism in a nutshell. In order to be an advocate of Capitalism, you must support the idea that the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer (In relation to the rich. Not necessarily poorer overall).

Did you know that almost everything Karl Marx ever wrote was about Capitalism? Communism/Socialism were not the focus of his work. He was an exceptional economic philosopher, and I'm sure you know nothing of his work.

though big bads more or less correct about capitalism, isnt what exists in the US.  When Government makes the rules an regulations, and picks the winners and losers, is more appropriately a degree of fascism. 

Now, people might say socialism is the answer, but in order to make it work--just like facism--it requires an authoritarian government to hold a gun to people's head and make them comply with the system.  That's whats wrong today with the US.  Frankly, I dont know what the solution is, but it definitley is NOT more government.

You could easily say the same about Capitalism. You know, I think what many people miss about Capitalism is that, as companies grow larger, and it becomes more costly to innovate and increase competitiveness of your product/price, they become 'rent-seekers', and turn to government as a means of regulating competitors out of the market, and building barriers to entry. So in effect, Capitalism creates a type of big government that is not for the people, but a tool to further corrupt policy, which meets the agenda of the behemoth level Capitalists. It is not a government for the people. There are other means by which big government is created, and that big government is more inclined to have the interests of its creators in mind.

What it really comes down to is not the size of government, but the function. The function of our government is clearly not interested in the mass of people, but that of the plutocrats. It works very well for the purpose of those who have built it up and shaped it. It can work very well for us, but we have to build it to suit our interests, and shape it.

Thats much correct!  But the same thing can be said for socialism--in fact, I don't remember exactly who, but one of the famous early communists in the soviet union, maybe lenin,was disillusioned with what he saw as the true result of the communist state, i.e. that the end result, like capitalism, would really end up being statism, i.e. the people having no control, and only the state controlling all.

I don't remember where i saw it but ill try to find that writing and who it is attributed to.

A fair point.

All of the 'communist revolutions' that have been imposed via violent takeover, and implanted dictatorship regimes have been miserable failures. You couldn't really expect anything more from that sort of situation. When Socialist principles have been implemented more gradually, through democratic processes, and shaped/molded by the people, the transition is much more graceful. It does not result in that sort of authoritarian dictatorial structure. Abrupt political change is never the road to success.

I am just not very sympathetic to the flaws in Capitalism, by design. Communism has failed due to incompetence. Capitalism has, what I perceive to be, failure written right into its intended structure. We spend so much time trying to fix Capitalism, because so few are willing to admit the very nature of Capitalism leads to a plutocratic two class society. Rich and poor. It takes time. Some socialist principles can help to postpone the inevitable, but eventually you have extreme wealth concentration, and a collapsed economy. This is the very nature of Capitalism, and anyone with the faintest understanding of the principles of Capitalism knows this.

I'm not sure if it was BBW who brought it up before, but the horse shoe model of right and left seems to come into play with this strange discussion with Shins. Far left and far right can have some similarities.

but anarchism is left wing.

the anarchists went to Spain to fight the fascists, as airclay said. the entire movement is on the left. but i'm sure there are some groups on the right that are similar in some ways, even if they are in a minority.

its weird when you talk about anarchism being unworkable on the national scale. airclay can correct me if i'm wrong but i understand that anarchism is about increased and localised democracy. To some extent i would imagine there would have to be somekind of sub regional, regional, national scale of government for some jobs but this could be minimal instead with the focus of power at the local level. I would say that the right wing is more concerned about nationalism, thats partly why they are losing their heads about refugees or musliminians taking our country and jobs.

when it comes to what happens in Europe with the refugees, people here are saying that Europe never got the choice etc. If we had choices made more at a local level, then a lot of that resentment towards governments like Merkel's would be diminished. People in their own areas would decide if they would take refugees. it is the lack of accountability that is stirring the pot in Europe. What would people think about if we had EU-wide localised referenda?

If there is less government, there needs to be more engagement from all people. Well, there should be high engagement from everyone anyway so we don't just devolve our decision-making capacities to unaccountable/unrepresentative governments. anarchism is comfortably intertwined with socialism on the left and involves greater engagement in the political and economic sphere

Just as what is happening in Europe is the rise of the right, there is also a rise of the left. This is not isolated to Europe either. The entire Western world is seeing the resurgence of a larger polarisation. Perhaps even in the US there will be a political revolution. who knows? but the resistance of anarchism against fascism seems to keep arising. The US has been long conditioned against socialism to the point that some people think the Nazis were left wing. I hope the rise of the left will help balance out the rise of the right, providing platforms for each side to find moderation for progress.

This is the big problem, the polarization of differences.

the further apart groups are the further apart they will claim the other side is, with straw man arguments and the like.

Today it's almost impossible to discuss a lot of political issues because you are instantly placed on one side or the other, regardless of your opinions. As long as you say something that goes against one side, you are portrayed as a representative of the other side.

Black against white.
1 or 0.
You must pick a side so we know which team your playing for.
We have to have two sides fighting it out!
You started it
No I didn't
Yes you did
Nuh-uh
Uh-huh.

This overly simplistic concept brings only destruction.
1. Things are more complicated.
2. We need to speak to the perceived "other side" as decent people, not as "libtards", "goatfuckers" or "nazi pigs". Its astonishing that people are not able to have discussions with people that have different political views without starting a war with them...

Anarchism is completely unworkable.  The reason is, there will always be the 'alpha'==the strong leader, who will fill the void.  That is, if there is no state, there will soon be an opportunistic leader who takes advantage of the situation.  As soon as there is a group of people in the anarchy who join forces to stop the authoritarian, you are presented with statism---rather than having the one strong leader who takes charge, you have a committee of authoritarians who take charge.

That's one way to assume it would play out but really puts no thought into horizontal democracy. I'd also say your assumptions on when a state is established and when it stops being anarchism aren't accurate with modern thought on the subject. I really think libertarian municipalism as presented by Murray bookchin would help solve a lot of these misconceptions.

Yes that's the idea. And having less regional bodies following horizontal leadership that would be intertwined w multiple local areas would a start setting up an autonomous democratic state which is the aim of anarchism in few words.
